Highlight and Share at its core is a highlighter. If users select some text, the user will be shown a row of enabled social networks.
Highlight and Sharing displays a small pop-up when a reader highlights text on your site.
By default, this works on any post or page content. You can customize Highlight and Share to show anywhere using advanced selectors.
You can mark a selection of text as an inline highlight using the Block Editor format option, or wrapping a selection with class has-inline-text
.
The Click to Share block and shortcode allow you to heavily customize a "Click to Share" box that readers can click on to share.

Shortlinks turns a long URL into a shorter version.
If you share text on a social network such as Twitter, you can save a few characters by shortening your URLs.
Shortlinks Require a Third-Party Service
